Recreating Balatro's Game Feel | Mix and Jam

[@AlanZucconi]

To all my gamedev students who are thinking of plagiarising this project for their next assignment... I SEE YOU. 👁👄👁

[@mixandjam]

WE SEE YOU

[@doubledope]

Dear students of Alan. He is trying to trick you. Steal everything!

[@majelislaguanakindonesia2106]

Ruuunnnnn . . . .

[@romarioteixeira9567]

It’s always amazing to see how you deconstruct a big problem and then solve it piece by piece in such a calm way. Been a while since I did game development but this video inspired me to get back to it

[@rawallon]

Have you tried non-game dev?

[@guillem99]

The card shaders part was really interesting. I would love more videos recreating UI's of games :)

[@So_ImErin]

I really wish there was just 1 comprehensive guide to shader graph effects. All the tutorials I find are always so narrow visioned on just 1 effect or they're way too complex for me to wrap my head around it

[@Stickguy101]

HE LIVES!!!

[@cauto84]

Brackeys and Mix and Jam are back in the same week 🤯

[@Pirochiro]

Having the card visual just be a separate object that lerps to the actual card's position is such a simple but effective method! I am going to have to remember that one. 😮

[@iHeartGameDev]

Continues to be my favorite channel

[@random_precision_software]

I'm so HAPPY to see back again !😊 Please don't leave it as long for your next video...I really missed you.

[@meisterl0]

It is very addicting how everything blended together from the sound effects to the way you interact with the cards, hits the dopamine real good heard the dev from an interview that he has a lot of testing just to make it feel right and it shows

[@GameDragon2k]

Holy crap, that decoupling of the logic and lerping was such a simple and effective solution. I've never quite thought to do something like that.

[@NihongoWakannai]

It's useful for almost anything with smooth movement, including player characters. It's easier to do calculations for simple straightforward movement but it looks ugly, so you just need a nice coat of paint on top.

[@Shasaur]

Always super hyped when I see a new mix and jam video. Thanks for making this! You've taught me a huge amount about polishing

[@11sveden12]

This is insanely good. You have an incredible talent for demystifying these concepts. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these. We all are looking forward to what you come up with next!

[@abidounesaad3780]

Mix and jam is still the best gamedev channel on youtube as always

[@DarkDax]

As always this was a brilliant video! Love how you break down seemingly difficult processes into a digestible and easy to understand way. Great work mate!

[@MrEnvisioner]

Awesome & illuminating video! Welcome back! I didn't even think of having the board itself be 2D with anchored, separate 3D visuals. That makes so much more sense and really simplifies the way that you interact with things. 😀 Thanks!

[@captainnoyaux]

Wow that's super interesting ! I made small to medium card games but without focusing at all on the game feel so this video is a treasure for me.

[@PeterMilko]

Thank you for makign this! I love how you set it up.

[@TheProtectedVoid]

You nailed it, very smooth, great job!

[@WilmarNM]

This is one of the best Unity development videos that I have come across on KZbin. I can't believe I didn't know about this channel until now.

[@immortalsun]

As someone who’s addicted to Balatro (I have 120 hours in it) and who’s interested in making a roguelike deckbuilder game myself, this video is a godsend!

[@SkabedSkab]

That's an awesome video. Good job! It'd really interesting to see other card games deconstructed, shuffle animations and such too!

[@PomuLeafEveryday]

Would've been cool to have seen you recreate it in Love2D, the framework Balatro was made in

[@whimsical.turtle]

These videos inspired me to get into game development (especially scripting) years ago, great to see you're still making them

[@loool72]

one of the best gamedev channels out there, your videos are an amazing resource

[@samuel-tome]

Return of the king!! Really enjoyed watching this! I don't use unity but it's always insightful and entertaining to watch 🔥

[@alexdacat]

Amazing job on the shaders! It's crazy how much it adds

[@REXanadu]

Gotta say - this channel continues to be the best channel for breaking down some iconic elements of the games people play Being able to attempt to recreate something on your own is an amazing skill to have in life - especially in game development Here's to hoping this channel continues on and inspires more people to take a crack at this sort of thing 😄

[@bigfin20]

looks great! something I noticed while playing was just how much polish there was for sound effects, actions and visuals.. it does make the game feel better but I wonder how much of its appeal can be attributed to details like that

[@julianlanty2066]

Incredible video. The little card interactions with the mouse where really good. And the card shaders too

[@SAKronikle]

Wow this was fantastically done! I didn't think you'd replicate it so closely but you knocked it out of the park!

[@TedThomasTT]

This is weird, today I looked up one of your old videos to help a student. Then a bit later I discovered Balatro. Then a bit later you uploaded this. Great video as always!

[@Footbeat1]

You're my favorite dev magician. Watching your process is a joy

[@dreamisover9813]

Great to see a new video on this channel! Insightful as always. The on thing I was wondering at the start is if this isn't easier done with SpriteRenderers in world space, but it seems that using UI components and UI screenspace is a good fit too

[@srb2er]

yesssss another mix n jam video!!!! i genuinely love these videos so much, they are just so rewatchable and interesting (the glossy effect remake looks so nice)

[@francosoler1756]

Man, im currently working on a card game and this video is a literal GOLDMINE, amazing video as always!

[@kiraio]

Amazing work as always 🔥

[@wilson5195]

Looks like I'm not the only one that got super addicted to Balatro xD

[@Ragwadada]

Époustouflant 🤯🤯 always amazing, thanx for the video, it give motivation

[@pepperstocks]

You make everything look simpler and amazing!!

[@MarcBotella-t6d]

I just tried the Batman mechanics mini game, it's brutal. I would really like a similar mechanic but with a sword and shield and like the Middle Ages or something like that. Now you have a new loyal follower, keep it up man.

[@Tarodev]

Amazing, as always

[@FlavioYaura]

Que bom ver vc de volta André!! Confesso que desde aquele rolo, estou longe da Unity. Eu estava apenas com UE e após a volta de Asbjørn e essas reviravoltas todas, eu resolvi dar uma chance ao azulzinho. Ele é bem gostosinho de mexer, e claro, com suas particularidades. De todo modo, a comunidade precisa de vocês para incentivar mais pessoas ao desenvolvimento de jogos e que não tem apenas "invernos" nesse ramo. Obrigado! Nos vemos por aqui em Recife qualquer dia. flws

[@rupertmcpharlin2464]

Absolutely outstanding video mate. loved it!

[@toxiquid]

this looks great! amazing work as always :)

[@LaRedGames]

Nice to see u again =D, great Job like always.

[@ThinkWithGames]

Can't wait to see what you make in the future!

[@KirlianSilvestre]

these are very creative solutions, thanks for sharing, André.

[@farazgamedev]

Keep posting regularly, big fan of your work 😍

[@alexanderst.7993]

Ayyy welcome back dude! Nice to see you upload again

[@LimitedBits]

This is so good, well done and thanks!

[@felbecker]

Extremely valuable video and I don’t even like card games and will probably never dev one.

[@eudasmiranda1030]

You always surprise with your explanations!

[@JaridMitchell]

I would sell my soul if you tried to recreate the war-thunder penetration effect where they show the fragmentation & everything in that little mini window!

[@shivanshchanana1]

I love your videos, keep up the good work brother!

[@junglepuff]

ur videos are awesome, ty for this content dude 💚💚

[@DocGeraud]

Amazing job André!

[@mixandjam]

Thanks!! One day I’ll be at SOL leves of awesomeness

[@DocGeraud]

@@mixandjam Thank you man 😊 I think you're already at a way higher level to be honest!

[@DrumsVSTheWorld]

very smart with the shaders. great job!

Great job, André!

[@Kerl0s_]

It’s been a while. Great video! ❤ Love from France!

[@axewhite6553]

A pleasure to see you again

[@Barzie]

Great stuff! wish we had the shader graph for ui feature in older unity versions

[@ragerungames]

woah. Long timeee man!! Missed your videos

[@lunakepio5387]

Oh you guys are back 🎉 🙏

[@iamos4087]

Awesome video thank you soo much ❤

[@hrofc.]

this is amazing

[@T0ly113]

Very nice. I would love to see how you would build the scoring engine/card interactions in Balatro.

[@M0kiss]

Maior plot twist da minha vida foi descobrir que, um eu te seguia no twitter e sempre achei teu trampo muito daora, dois, você ser brasileiro! Parabéns pelo teu trampo!

[@mixandjam]

Obrigado! É nois ♥️

[@hlop_vmp]

It's good to see you again

[@LuRybz]

Beautiful work

[@rollyproductions]

The developer said he had a lot of fun learning how to use shaders for the card effects

[@ijzm]

Welcome back!

[@joaomolin120]

Saaaaalve André! O mais brabo! Abraço de João e Lucas =D

[@BallShowFly]

That's really amazing.

[@CiroContinisio]

Really good video! Good idea with the separation between the visuals and the underlying object representing the card, that makes the interactions much more safe too! 👌 Now, take a break from Balatro!!!!!!! 😆

[@mixandjam]

Gracias Ciro!! HEY playing is studying ok

[@CiroContinisio]

@@mixandjam sure but be careful about studying TOO MUCH

[@CYXNIGHT]

YOU'RE BACK AHHH

[@R4v3nB14ck]

BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS

[@pbrown7501]

If anything this makes Balatro even more impressive. As someone who has tinkered with LOVE2D I have no fucking idea how most of these effects were accomplished in that framework.

[@mehmedcavas3069]

these are some clever ways to do these things :O

[@artemv3160]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[@RGcrasyRG]

Great work!

[@ItsMeHelel]

Holy Balatrole! That was excellent!

[@duolc_7]

This video is amazing 👌

Oh so this channel isn't dead

GLAD YOU SEE YOU AGAIN

[@luizhenriqueferreiramontei6271]

Ótimo trabalho, eu eu amo seus vídeos!!!

[@wassimhamdi6354]

Pls post more often 🙏

[@mixandjam]

I'm trying hehehe!! These videos do take A LOT of effort!

[@MrEnvisioner]

@@mixandjam The high quality though is WORTH IT. The videos are very easy to follow, deliver a ton of useful information with stellar visuals & polish, and are well-written and edited. It's understandable that it would take a lot of time (I'd venture to say around 2 months for one video, if you're doing it part-time in between lots of other stuff?).

[@wassimhamdi6354]

@@mixandjam i understand 😁, and i am willing to wait for your videos as long as it takes.

It's been soooo long

[@ZedAmadeus]

Hey! I was wondering if you've seen the blood in a game called Nidhogg? I've never seen an effect quite like it in a videogame, and I can't find ANYTHING about it online. It spurts out of its pixel art characters LIKE CRAZY and then dynamically coats the environment and drips down it, and stays there forever, it's super impressive. Only thing remotely like it that I've seen was Overgrowth's blood system (Overgrowth is 3D though) where it drips down a characters fur, that system's pretty cool too and I think Overgrowth is open source, but... not quite what I'm talking about anyway. If you see it and think it's as cool as I do, I'd be super duper curious how the effect is created! I've been wondering for years why it isn't in more games :P love your videos!

[@GenaroDev]

amazing. ótimo video
